I'm grateful for Barack Obama

My sappy Thanksgiving post got more serious as I watched the Mumbai tragedy unfold.

    About casting the first stone .......

    I am grateful for Obama too

    and I trust him

    and I pray for him each morning just as I contributed to his campaign every month. May his wisdom by couched in common sense, may his physical health and energy be sustained, may he grow in grace, and may any who would harm him in any way fall on their own sword. Then I pray for myself that I will not be tempted to second guess him, that I will trust in his motives in the face of what ever I perceive as an error that comes to pass, that I will listen to my heart instead of an, ever ready to pounce, news media that finds more followers in being critical than in giving the benefit of a doubt.

    Namaste
